It would seem that such matters should be adjusted by the court of claims. TUB forest products of the United State. , arc north w > ilay not less than S800- 000,000 , which is n good deal more than tlio value of the metal and mineral out put of all our mines of coal , K'ld , silver , copper iron -ui'l lead , all put together. Tltls is conclusive proof of the value of tree planting. Tan Mississippi legislature has passed an act taxing whisky drummers , but ac cording to a recent United Slates supreme court decision such a. law is unconstitu tional. The Mississippi legislators evi dently do not read the newspapers , other wise thny would have- known of the Michigan case in which the decision was rendered. Tin : Connecticut legislature 1ms again defeated a bill designed to prevent the acceptance by members of free railroad pusses. A similar bill would meet a like fate in the Nebraska legislature. The average legislator in any state is not generally known to refuse anything , and believes in taking advantage of all the perquisites within his reach. OUT of 7,000 bills and resolutions intro duced in the house this session only about a dozen of any importance have been passed. There is a great waste of time and money in the introduction of useless bills , which as a rule nro Introduced for political effect or to satisfy the cranks. It costs a congressman nothing to intro duce a bunbombo bl ) ] in order to make his constituents bcliovo that ho is a great legislator. SKCUHTAUV MANNING is reported as no better. His case is said to bo a clear one of collapse , the result of overwork and worry as head of the treasury depart ment. In Mr. Manning's instance , to the enormous routine work demanding bis attention was added incessant and an noying applications for ollice , which made heavy drafts upon precious time. Combined with this was the opposition of a largo and inllncntial portion of bis party ( o his financial policy. Ho wonder ho succumbed to the strain. Nerves of stcol and brains of crystal would yield to such a pressure. Tun screams for havmony in the ranks of the Nebraska democracy would bo heartrending if the public wore not per fectly aware that they are all for ofl'ect. The peace wanted is that which reigned in Warsaw after its sack and the victors bold undisputed possession of the inins. . So farns the patronnsfciiwMlSng bosses of Nobi'ttskivn ) concerned their only desire for harmony is of the kind which results from iv prostrate rival. All the cant about democratic principles , party loy alty and support of the administration has no other basis than the attempt to whip into line all opponents of boss rule , UNnnit a recent decision of taosuprcmo court United States , commissioners arc permitted to charge docket fees. This will nmkqlhat oflico in some cities worth from 5,000 to $10,000 a year. This is only in keeping with the rule in all de partments of the federal judiciary ser vice to roll up fees to the highest limit oi the law. The clerks and marshals have for years pursued this nlan with so much patriotic enthusiasm that n suitor , who has once hud experience with costs in Un cle Sam's courts , never forgets his bill , There are costs In every direction anil point of the compass ; costs before bringing suit , accumulating costs "during its pondage , accumulated costs during its prosecution and a mountain ol coats tit its termination. The excessive fees of the federal courts have bccomo n positive scandal , and the result Is the movement to reduce thorn and to make the fee-paid ollicials salaried instead ol dependent upon their collections. When the compensation of ofllcors of the law depends upon the fees there Is a constant tendency to bleed the suitor for the bone lit of what his pookctbook holds , This i < why the dread of beginning action in the /odiirnl courts on account of e.xpeusr > i : is so general. to tlmt slnion-iinro organ of rrtiMibllcmiism , the Omahn llejntblican , which Is oondiiotod by a ( jrcoloy roptibll ran tintl nn Andy Johnson party bolter , Senator Van Wyck was the only inombui of his puny who voted against the K < 1 nnuulf ) resolutions , Senator Mitchell ol Oregon anil Hiiltlloborgcr of Virginir \n\\\t \ \ him company.

Advocates of railroad commissions ns adjusters of the difTcrenccs between the railways and their patrons are constantly pointing to the English commission ns a successful example of the practical oper ations of such a body. As n matter of the fact the English railroad commission , though endowed with much greater pow ers than those of any in this country , has failed to solve the problem for which it was constituted. A bill lias recently been introduced In parliament to supersede it by another commission , with arbitrary powers of regulation , whoso every order will have the force of a judgment , and from whoso decisions concerning rates , fees and tolls no appeal can bo taken. The commission proposed Is to bo in oflect a court of llnal resort , composed of profoundly learned judges , with most oxtunsivo powers , holding of lice for life , and so liberally salaried that there shall bo no ground for suspicions of corruption. An important clause in tlio bill requires the railway companies to submit within a year a revised specifica tion of their rates and charges and a re vised schedule of maximum rates and charges. Advisory commissioners are to bo appointed to hear complaints , confer with the railways , and publish results. The whole design of the bill is to give the greatest publicity to all the till'airs nnd methods of the railways. It is evident that the iiresont law in England fails for the reason that every like law In this country lias fallen short of success. The commission Is powerless to afford the relief dosired. It can recommend , but it cannot enforce. On this account commissions htivo stood in the way of securing redress because they have been used and are used ns tx sop to public sentiment and their ex istence proves a barrier to effective legis lation lo remedy the evils which are the outgrowth of railroad mismanagement. A commission like that projected in England to replace the ono now vainly struggling to satisfy both the railroads and the public is less n commission than ii court of the highest jurisdiction and supreme power over all questions brought before it. It would bo free from the many objections now urged against ex isting commissions , but the great cor porations of England are hardly likely to pcrjnit its creation. llussin Intriguing. There is a growing feeling of anxiety in England over the signs of Russia's stealthy advance in Central Asia toward the Indian frontier General Alikhanon" , the llussian fire cater , whoso name was so prominent in news from Afghanistan a year ago , lias made an imposing entry into Pendjeh , and has assured the natives of Russia's protection against all ono- mics. This is the same Allkhanoll who , only a few months ago , was announced as having been removed from his com mand for cruel treatment of the people of Werv. It appears that the old Muscovite trick of disgracing in public but rewarding in private , military ollicers and diplomats , whose xeal has mndo them particularly obnoxious to England or Some other great power , is still being played with skill and vigor. Alikhanoft' evidently retains the support and confidence of his own supe riors and there are other signs than his own actions which indicate that ho may soon have another opportunity to win new laurels upon the field of battle. The work of delimiting the Afghan frontier is at n standstill owing to the convenient illness of M. Lcssar , the young Prussian diplomat and engineer , who figured so conspicuously in London lu = * spring. It is ajj fjnii" Bjgll f0"r " M , l < ess r to "become ill again under such circumstances. Ho had a very Important and convenient illness something over a year ago when Sir Peter Lumsden and his assistants of the British boundary commission were waiting to begin work on tlio frontier , nnd Russia was preparing to push the line far to the south Ijy BOiz'mg the Pendjeh oasis. At last accounts General KomarofT was ex pected to arrive at Pendjoh soon. This is precisely the move lie would make if another grab for Afghan territory were contemplated. England is not idle. The railroad toward Quotta and Candahar is being pushed steadily forward and the depots of Illndostan are daily sending hundreds of tons of material to aid in the construc tion of this important line of military supply. The British government is de termined , if brought face to face with the possibility of war for their Indian posses sions , to meet the issue fully prepared. Russian ambition and Russian intrigue combined , nro rapidly paving the way for future trouble in central Asia. When it will break out depends entirely upon the private whim of the White Tuar. Gcronlmo's Surrender. Goronimo and his Apaoho bucks have mot General Crook and they are his. The hostile Chiricahuas have sur rendered unconditionally and are now in custody. Dispatches from Fort Howio announce that the Apache war is ended. This result is in a great measure due to the olleet of the lamented Craw ford's last campaign in which lie pur sued tlio Hying Apaches to their lair in the mountains of Sonora and made them sue for peaeo , But it la due no loss to the active endeavors and clear head of George Crook who alone has tested the value of Indian scouts in u half dozen campaigns and made savugo auxiliaries the backbone of Ids various expedi tions in Arizona and Mexico. Now that Goronimo has scrrendored without conditions , General Crook will be able to dispose of Him according to his deserts. It is snfo to say tlmt ho will not bo again returned to San Carlos and sub jected to the effects of a divided authori ty , civil and military , It is equally safe to say that Crook will llatly decline fu ture responsibility for the conduct ot hosliles not placed under his complete control. Having captured the renegade Indians his duties will end after ho has turned them over to the Indian department. Geronimo and his bucks should bo put whore they will novoragain trouble Arizona. A hemp neck tie or a cool cell on the Dry Tortugas would be an effective settlement of the Indian problem so far as they nro concerned. As for General Crook liu should bo re warded with the command of the department - . ment of the Platte , Having wound up thoApacho onuipalgn he can safely exchange - change the climate of Whipplo Barracks for the more salubrious utmosphnro of Omaha. Ais friends will bo glad to meet him utid welcome | im ! to the ctmimnud of n department in which ho won bright laurels and where his naino is held in honor and respect. THK insurance tax of the country Is an enormous ono when the full extent is taken into consideration , It is estimated by insurance companies that in tlio United States last year dwelling houses were burned at the rate of ono every hour , with an average loss of $1,890. Barns and sta bles , fifty per week. Country stores , three per clay , with n loss of $110,000 per week. Ten Jhotcls burn weekly , with n loss per year of _ $4,000,000. Every other day a lumber yard goes up in smoke , each representing $20,000. Forty-four cotton factories , the loss in each case bolng 528,000 , ; forty- three woolen mills at $ io,000 each , and forty-two chemical works at 827,000 each , were destroyed by lire last year. Forty-two boot and shoo factories were consumed , tlio loss being $17,000 each. Theatres were lapped up by the llames at the rate of five per month ; nvorago loss , $10,000. Only about half as many court houses were destroyed , the cost of each being about $20,000 , ! ix , when asked if any of ills recent prayers , especially that of a few days ago , when ho referred to bucket shops , stock gambling and other kinds of gambling , were made with ref erence to any member , lie replied : "Not atiill. But when 1 speak as the chaplain of the house to the representatives of the people , I feel that I am addressing the nation. " This is a clear case of hedging , and is no doubt the result of Mr. Morri son's intimation to the chaplain that his remarks were altogether too pointed , anil were considered personal by the congress men whom he hit below the belt , as it were. A CHICAGO paper prints a copyrighted cablegram under date of Paris , March 20 , bcginningjwith : "Count do Lcssops has returned full of vigor and enthusiasm in behalf of his pet project , tlio Panama canal. " Then follows u column inter view with the count. In the same paper wo observe a brief uncopyrighted cable gram of the same date stating that do hcssops has returned to Paris and is sick m bed. Wo bclievo the latter statement , and at the same time we suspect that llio copyrighted interview is a product of home manufacture. Sosn : weeks ago we were impertinently admonished by the Herald to stop talking about the rights and wrongs of labor un til wo had "composed the differences ex isting in our own office.

SKNATOII VAN Wvcic's bill creating ad ditional land districts in Nebraska has passed the senate.

THE Now York Morning Journal has reached a circulation of 170,431. , It will touch 200,000 , this year. It is the greatest marvel in American journalism. Its im mense circulation , acquired within thrco years , shows that the li'cly little paper is appreciated by the public * , ONE of the most prominent railroad men in the country , Mr. Wicker , of Chicago cage , lias got Jay Gould down Hue. Ho says that Gould's course in regard to tlio strike lias simply been tlio most gigantic stock jobbing operation on record. ALTHOUGH there is very little concern shown by the business men of Omaha in tlio approaching city election , they will discover after tlio election that the coun cil can do more mischief to this oily than any congressman or senator.

Wonderful music there was one day , Chopin to listen , Liszt to play. Said Chopin to Liszt : "Kam would I learn If the ear may , through music , the colois dis cern. " Then Liszt struck clear fiom the highest keys Thn song of bright hkics the summer brefizo ; And Chopin cried out with keen delight : 'U sco soil azure and glbtoning white. " Then Liszt sinotu slowly the deep bass chords And summoned theshadowy trooping hordes Ot doubt and despair that icnd and pcfe The soul in dink homs. "Away with the blade , Awful vision I" cried Chopin. It passed ; And away from the bass Liszt's lingers Hew fast Then a witching , palpitant , brilliant strain , Which thrilled and kindled and thrilled agnin ; And Chopin cried quick as tlio melody sped : "Mine eyes lest on roses and cheeks tliat arc red. " And so by his wondrous , exquisite art Liszt touched , through both eciibes , the ono human heart , And showed as a rose might , transformed tea a bird , That sound can be seen and hues can be heard.

Cheyenne is tlio largest county In the state an appropriate tltlo now applied to it is , "the biggest and best. " It is 107 miles from east to west , and about seven ty miles wido. Eighteen miles from the south line and twenty-two miles from the west line , on the ( main line of the Union Pacific railway , is situated the town of KIM1IAI.L. It lias a beautiful location on the south slope of the valley of the Ledge Polo crook , a never falling mountain stream which flows through the countv from west to oast. Potter , eighteen miles east , is llio only other town in the county with in thirty-live miles of Ivimball. Cheyenne county will , without any doubt , bo di vided this fall into six counties , which will leave Kimball very near the center of a county about thirty-live miles square. Tills cannot fail to give our town tlio county seat of as suggested "Kimball" county. The country surrounding us Is of the beautiful rolling sort. It is an astonish ing fact , remarked upon by all now com ers , how little waste land there is within the boundaries of "Kimball" county. The soil is an excellent rich , black loam , deep enough in all places for agricultural purposes. In the Ledge Polo valley the soil is just sandy enough to raise tlio finest vegetables in the world. Kimball was platted one yoavjago. On Juno 20th , 1883 , the first store was opened by Randall fc Co. Now , the following business enterprises are in healthy opera tion hero : Shoofor Bros , carry the larg est slock of general merchandise and linvo an immense trade.

Tlio Observer , published weekly , makes a public oiler to answer all innuiries fiee , and to send tlio paper'which publishes all the immigration news , to any ono three months for 25 cents. A Woni ) TO THE wisn. The final summing up is : Kimball is situated in the centre of over 3,000 miles of rich agricultural country , and is tlio only town in said agricultural country. This whole tracl is being rapidly settled by responsible and influential families Irom llio east. Kimball is the only railroad - road ccnh-o nn-l - trai - -poVnt for all these ' oplo. It will be a town of 1,000 inhabitants before January 1. 1887. If you want a free home or : i location for any ot the following business enterprises , actatonco : Flouring mill , canning fac tory , bank , hardware store , agricultural implements , barber shop , harness shop , livery barn , more stoics. Wo can sup port enterprises of all kinds. Woynn " lawyers , land agents , carpenters p.ncl men" of all legitimate trades Tiel vocations. Wholesale ( .tores coi''u just as well flour ish hero us not. Last year demonstrated bevo.ni1 successful contradiction tlio fact that the soil will raise as good or bettor crops of all kinds as in tiny other part of the state. The country is rapidly scttlintr , and Kimbull will bo llio town. PAHVINOK. Dr. Piorce'8 "Favorite Prescription" perfectly and permanently cures these diseases peculiar lo females.
